HONORING<br />

VICTIMS OF CRIME<br />

In April, a commemoration of the 25th<br />

Anniversary of the Colorado’s Victims Rights<br />

Act was held as part of National Crime Victims’<br />

Rights Week (NCVRW), April 2-8, 20<strong>17</strong>. The<br />

Colorado Victims Rights Act was passed by<br />

Colorado voters on November 3, 1992, as<br />

Referendum A: Victims Rights. It became<br />

Section 16a of Amendment II, The Bill of<br />

Rights, of the Colorado Constitution. This year,<br />

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week theme —<br />

Strength. Resilience. Justice. — reflects a vision<br />

Ron Rakowsky<br />

rrakowsky@<br />

greenwoodvillage.com<br />

303-486-5741<br />

for the future in which all victims are<br />

strengthened by the response they receive,<br />

organizations are resilient in response to<br />

challenges, and communities are able to seek<br />

collective justice and healing.<br />

This inspiring event in Denver had remarks by Attorney<br />

General Cynthia Coffman, the Acting U.S. Attorney. Bob<br />

Troyer, a longtime supporter speaking to the historical view,<br />

and the daughter of the teacher killed at Columbine.<br />

Chairperson Cara Denney, Coloradans Organized for<br />

Responsible Drivers (C.O.R.D), and myself were also in<br />

attendance. The reoccurring theme of all the speakers was<br />

focused on making sure the criminal justice system is<br />

committed to victims’ rights.<br />

Our 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, along<br />

with Sheriff Tony Spurlock, Douglas County, and Lieutenant<br />

Colonel Matt Packard, Colorado State Patrol, spoke at a<br />

commemoration in Douglas County that I also attended.<br />

The National Crime Victims’ Rights Week celebration always<br />

brings a renewed sense of purpose to our Victim Advocates at<br />

Greenwood Village. The Victims Assistance Unit of the<br />

Police Department works to comfort, inform, and support<br />

victims while keeping lines of<br />

communication open with police officers<br />

to bring peace and justice for those<br />

whose lives have been altered by a crime.<br />

If you have any questions or would like<br />

more information about the Colorado<br />

Victims Rights Act, please contact our<br />

Victims Assistance Coordinator Melissa<br />

Madsen at 303-773-2525 or<br />

mmadsen@greenwoodvillage.com. You<br />

can learn more about our victim<br />

assistance services at<br />

Assistant District Attorney Mark Hurlbert poses with<br />

Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky and Douglas County<br />

Commissioner Roger Partridge.<br />

RECOGNIZING YOUTH<br />

FOR THEIR ADVERSITIES<br />

There are many untold stories we never learn regarding youth<br />

who overcome some great challenges and adversities in their<br />

lives. Many of these events may be too difficult to explain in<br />

words, but call our attention to recognize these young adults<br />

who have overcome these personal hardships. Their<br />

leadership and bravery is exemplary and I am proud to call<br />

them leaders in our communities.<br />

In April, Greenwood Village, along with some of our<br />

neighboring cities of Arapahoe County, were part of the<br />

Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards<br />

(MMCYA) Program recognition event at Centennial Airport.<br />

The MMCYA event recognized <strong>17</strong> students for overcoming<br />

adversity and rising to the challenges life has presented. Each<br />

teen showed maturity and strength beyond his or her years in<br />

overcoming their obstacles with dignity, resourcefulness and<br />

personal integrity. Teens are nominated by their school<br />

counselors, teachers, mentors and parents.<br />

<strong>GV</strong> NAMED PUBLIC HEALTH<br />

HERO OF THE YEAR<br />

Congratulations to Greenwood Village as we were named<br />

the Public Health Hero of the Year by Tri-County Health<br />

Department (TCHD). This award is given to individuals,<br />

businesses, or organizations that work to improve or<br />

promote public health in Adams, Arapahoe or Douglas<br />

counties. Our nomination was based on the City Council’s<br />

work to pass an ordinance in February 2016 to expand the<br />

Village’s smoke-free law. Our comprehensive smoke-free law<br />

prohibits electronic smoking devices everywhere that<br />

conventional smoking is prohibited (including “vape” shops)<br />

and extends to select outdoor areas including transit waiting<br />

areas, parks, trails, outdoor plazas and Fiddler’s Green<br />

Amphitheatre.<br />

Through the adoption of Village ordinance, the City Council<br />

strongly believes that it is our duty to protect children,<br />

residents, workers, and visitors from both secondhand smoke<br />

and from electronic device aerosol emissions that contain<br />

cancer-causing chemicals. One of our primary goals at the<br />

Village is to ensure the safety of the community which is why<br />

we are committed to the public’s health by taking a hard<br />

stance on second-hand smoke. You can learn more about our<br />

smoke-free law at greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

If you are a smoker and interested in learning how to quit,<br />

the Colorado Quitline offers free over-the-phone counseling<br />

and free nicotine replacement therapy for Colorado residents.<br />

Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit coquitline.org. to get<br />

started. Quitting smoking is a journey, not a single event.<br />

Don’t give up. Most people try several times to quit. You can<br />

do it.<br />

PLEASE ATTEND THIS YEAR’S<br />

METRO PUBLIC SAFETY EVENT<br />

It takes a partnership of police and fire agencies to ensure the<br />

safety of the citizens that live, work and visit in our region.<br />

As citizens, we are very fortunate that many of our police and<br />

fire agencies, even though they manage safety for their own<br />

jurisdictions, have developed great working relationships<br />

where they rely on each other for assistance, and in some<br />

cases, share resources to combat crime, manage traffic, and<br />

conduct crime prevention events.<br />

Please join the Greenwood Village Police Department on<br />

Saturday, May 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at City Hall as they<br />

host the second annual Metro Public Safety event. There will<br />

be several law enforcement and fire agencies showcasing their<br />

services and providing outreach to citizens of all ages. It will<br />

be a fun event for the entire family. As residents and<br />

businesses of Greenwood Village, please stop by and show<br />

your support for not only our Police Department, but also all<br />

the law enforcement and fire agencies that place their lives on<br />

the line for us every day to protect our neighborhoods, guard<br />

our homes and businesses, safeguard our children at school,<br />

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION<br />

DISPOSAL SITES ARE<br />

NOW AVAILABLE<br />

Pain killers are<br />

playing a leading<br />

role in the heroin<br />

epidemic in<br />

Colorado which<br />

has prompted<br />

Attorney General<br />

Cynthia Coffman<br />

and the Metro<br />

Mayors Caucus<br />

to work on ways<br />

we can solve this<br />

health crisis that<br />

is claiming the<br />

lives of so many,<br />

including our<br />

young people.<br />

One way is to<br />

address<br />

prescription drug<br />

abuse as it’s a fast growing problem in America and is<br />

impacting families across Colorado.<br />

In April, I joined the Mayors of Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and<br />

Mayor Pro-Tem of Aurora and Colorado Attorney General<br />

Coffman to support the launch of Walgreens’ permanent<br />

prescription medication disposal sites, which are now located<br />

across the Denver metro area. Walgreens medication disposal<br />

kiosks are free to use, and will help to ensure Coloradans can<br />

safely and easily dispose of medications that are no longer<br />

needed. Properly disposing of unused, unwanted or expired<br />

medications, including controlled substances and<br />

over-the-counter medications, can help to prevent<br />

misuse of those drugs and lower the risk of abuse<br />

by a friend or family member.<br />

According to the Office of National Drug Control<br />

Policy’s findings, over half of the people who used<br />

pain relievers non-medically obtained the drugs<br />

from a friend or relative for free; another 11<br />

percent bought them from a friend or relative; and<br />

5 percent got them from a friend or relative<br />

without asking – adding up to 71 percent<br />

obtaining their most recently used pain relievers in<br />

some fashion from friends and family.<br />

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS<br />

Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents<br />

on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.<br />

SUMMER WATERING<br />

RULES IN EFFECT<br />

Water connects us all. Denver Water’s summer watering<br />

rules ensure we have enough water now and in the future.<br />

Water belongs to everyone, and we are all responsible for<br />

using it wisely.<br />

Summer watering rules are enforced May 1 to Oct. 1.<br />

• Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering<br />

is NOT<br />

allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.<br />

• Water no more than three days per week.<br />

• Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.<br />

• Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete or<br />

asphalt.<br />

• Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.<br />

• Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.<br />

• Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing<br />

your car.<br />

If you see water waste that does not meet these rules, call<br />

Denver Water at 303-893-2444 or report it online at<br />

denverwater.org.<br />

Learn more at denverwater.org/SummerWatering.<br />

SPRINKLER SYSTEM START UP<br />

When you turn on your irrigation system for the first time,<br />

visually inspect irrigation nozzles and sprinkler lines for<br />

leaks. Nozzles that are broken or gushing should be<br />

replaced. If nozzles are spraying water onto streets or<br />

sidewalks, adjust them to irrigate the landscape. Lastly, if<br />

you see water pooling from underneath the surface of your<br />

COYOTE ACTIVITY<br />

INCREASING IN THE SPRING<br />

COYOTES EXPECTED TO BEHAVE MORE<br />

AGGRESSIVE TO PROTECT NEW PUPS<br />

Wildlife experts indicate that most coyote and human<br />

conflicts have been a direct result of human behavior such as<br />

feeding coyotes, walking a dog without a leash, or leaving<br />

food or water outside for your pets. Although these behaviors<br />

may seem innocent, they are actually harmful to you and<br />

your family, and to the health and safety of the coyote<br />

population.<br />

Spring is denning season for coyotes with new pups in the<br />

dens and coyotes are expected to behave more aggressively.<br />

Citizens are encouraged to take precautions when enjoying<br />

the outdoors to prevent a negative encounter with these<br />

wildlife animals.<br />

The feeding of coyotes by humans is one of the most harmful<br />

actions man can inflict on coyotes and wild animal<br />

populations. It is essential to minimize human/coyote<br />

conflict, as well as for the health and well-being of coyotes, to<br />

not be fed by humans. Coyotes used to being fed become<br />

habituated to human-provided food and alter their foraging<br />

and hunting behavior. The feeding of coyotes encourages<br />

them to remain in residential areas, increasing their<br />

encounters with pets and humans.<br />

What You Can Do:<br />

• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is<br />

illegal and these laws will be enforced.<br />

• Please do not feed coyotes anywhere.<br />

• Discourage others from feeding coyotes.<br />

• Do not touch young coyotes. A coyote that appears<br />

orphaned most often is not; the mother is usually nearby.<br />

• Teach children not to feed or approach coyotes and always<br />

tell an adult when they see one.<br />

• Do not give coyotes the opportunity to get into your<br />

garbage; keep garbage in sealed containers with secure lids.<br />

• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water<br />

sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit. Keep pet food and<br />

water inside.<br />

• Fully enclose gardens and compost piles.<br />

KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH<br />

As coyotes adapt to their surroundings, they have discovered<br />

that humans provide a sufficient source for food, water, and<br />

shelter. Coyotes will feed on whatever is available to them,<br />

including your household pets. Most attacks on pets occur in<br />

backyards as many coyote-pet interactions occur when a<br />

KEEPING COYOTES OUT<br />

Coyotes are smart, persistent and small. That means most fences<br />

and garden walls won’t keep them out. A good rule of thumb is<br />

that anything a cat can get through or over, a coyote can too.<br />

DOGGY DOORS<br />

Do not leave doggy doors open, especially when you are not<br />

home, even in the middle of the day. If you have a cat or dog door<br />

in your home, make sure it’s shut especially at dawn, dusk and at<br />

night.<br />

PETS BEING AWAY FROM YARD<br />

Be cautious when bringing pets back home after they have been<br />

gone from the yard for a few days. Coyotes usually move into the<br />

area when family pets leave and pet-coyote interactions occur<br />

when the dog returns home.<br />

IF A COYOTE APPROACHES<br />

YOU, NEVER RUN AWAY….<br />

INSTEAD HAZE!<br />

Hazing is a method that uses deterrents to move an animal out of<br />

an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing<br />

can help maintain coyotes’ fear of humans and deter them from<br />

neighborhood spaces such as backyards and playgrounds.<br />

Hazing Methods<br />

Using a variety of different hazing tools is critical because coyotes<br />

can habituate to individual items, sounds, and actions. A coyote<br />

who is being hazed must be able to recognize that the potential<br />

threat is coming from a person. Therefore, hiding behind a bush<br />

and throwing rocks or hazing from inside your car isn’t effective.<br />

You can use hazing techniques and tools for one animal or<br />

multiple animals. There is usually a dominant animal in the group<br />

who will respond, and others will follow her lead. Don’t stop<br />

hazing after it’s successful. Coyotes or their pups could return to<br />

their unacceptable habits or behaviors if you stop. Once you haze<br />

the coyote, it may return. Continue to haze the coyote as you did<br />

before. It usually only takes a couple of times for the coyote not to<br />

return.<br />

• Yell and wave your arms while approaching the coyote —<br />

“Go Away Coyote” Method.<br />

The simplest method of hazing a coyote involves being loud<br />

and large. If a coyote has not been hazed before, he might not<br />

immediately run away when you yell at him. If this happens,<br />

you might need to walk toward the coyote and increase the<br />

intensity of your hazing. If the coyote does run away, he might<br />

stop after a distance and look back at you. It’s important to<br />

continue to haze the coyote until he leaves the area completely.<br />

You might need to use multiple tactics, such as shaking<br />

noisemakers, stomping your feet, and spraying him with a hose<br />

to get him to leave.<br />

• Use noisemakers (e.g. your voice, whistles, air horns, bells,<br />

soda cans filled with pennies or dead batteries, pots and pans<br />

banged together).<br />

• Use projectiles (e.g. sticks, small rocks, cans, tennis balls,<br />

rubber balls).<br />

• Try other repellents (e.g. hoses, water guns with vinegar water,<br />

spray bottles with vinegar water, pepper spray, bear repellent,<br />

or walking sticks). Citronella spray is also very effective for<br />

hazing a coyote. One brand is SprayShield. If a coyote is in<br />

your yard and won’t leave you can use ammonia rags<br />

(ammonia soaked rags, with 70 percent ammonia to 30 percent<br />

water.) Throw them at the coyote. During warmer months you<br />

can squirt them with a hard spray from your hose.<br />

household pet is allowed to roam free.<br />

What You Can Do:<br />

• Keep pets on a six-foot leash when walking at all times.<br />

It is illegal to have your dog off a leash and the law will<br />

be enforced.<br />

• Choose alternate times when you allow your pets in the<br />

yard so your behavior is not predictable with coyotes.<br />

• Never allow your pets to “play” with a coyote.<br />

• Pick up small pets if confronted by a coyote.<br />

• Always supervise your pet when outside, especially at<br />

dawn and dusk.<br />

• Never leave cats or dogs outside after dark.<br />

• If you must leave your pet outside, secure it in a fully<br />

enclosed kennel.<br />

• Keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.<br />

REPORT COYOTE<br />

BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITY<br />

Please call the Greenwood Village Police Department at<br />

303-773-2525 with information on coyote sightings<br />

including sick or injured coyotes. The Police Department is<br />

actively keeping a record of coyote activity in the Village<br />

population. <strong>GV</strong> MAY 20<strong>17</strong> | <strong>GV</strong> NEWSLETTER PG. <strong>17</strong>

Pilates studio. With<br />

a newly designed,<br />

state of the art<br />

studio and a grand<br />

opening in March<br />

20<strong>17</strong>, The FAB<br />

Method was a result<br />

of two talented<br />

professionals leaving<br />

the corporate world to embrace their true passion in the<br />

fitness industry. Co-owners and certified Pilates instructors,<br />

Kadi Bain and Kiki Pierce had a vision of owning a studio<br />

and creating a unique Pilates program. “We embraced and<br />

incorporated our knowledge and experience in the fitness<br />

industry to create our own FAB Method,” shared Kadi.<br />

The method incorporates custom made FAB equipment that<br />

is custom built and designed exclusively to accompany the<br />

FAB Method workouts. “The FAB Method is not a<br />

franchised workout. The FABFormer machines are the only<br />

of its kind in Colorado,” stated Kiki. The FAB method<br />

utilizes all the elements of an ideal fitness program; including<br />

cardiovascular, strength training, balance and flexibility with<br />

contemporary Pilates. “These aspects are encompassed in one<br />

workout,” exclaimed Kadi.<br />

The FAB Method studio offers a variety of class types and<br />

durations designed to offer flexibility to meet all schedules,<br />

early morning or late in the day. Some of the class options<br />

include the FAB Full Body series and the FAB Express. The<br />

FAB Full Body series consists of three classes divided into<br />

three levels and are designed to fit different levels of needs.<br />

For those short on time, two different FAB Expresses classes<br />

are offered, each consisting of 25 minutes, one focusing on<br />

upper body and the other on lower body. The detailed<br />

schedule can be found by visiting the FAB Method website at<br />

A pair of Grip Socks are required for classes and are available<br />

for purchase at the studio. It is recommended to take a Level<br />

1 class during your first visit. After experiencing the FAB<br />

Method yourself and yearning for more, a variety of<br />

affordable Membership options are available including the<br />

option for private sessions. Kadi and Kiki are confident after<br />

attending one class that you will absolutely love how you feel<br />

and the results you will attain. They are offering all new<br />

clients their first class FREE! Due to the success and<br />

popularity of the FAB Method program, classes need to be<br />

THE VILLAGE READ<br />

COMING THIS SUMMER<br />

This summer the Greenwood Village Cultural Arts Program<br />

has partnered with the Arapahoe Libraries to present the first<br />

ever “Village Read.” The program is modeled<br />

after Chicago’s successful “One Book, One<br />

Chicago” project. The idea encourages adults<br />

of all ages to read one book and participate in<br />

thought-provoking discussions and activities<br />

derived from the chosen book.<br />

Credit for the original idea is given to<br />

Nancy Pearl, a Seattle librarian. “It’s based<br />

on the idea of community. My idea was<br />

that people would come together who<br />

would never come together any other way.<br />

Literature brings them together because a<br />

book touches them,” she said.<br />

Goals of the program include:<br />

• To encourage leisure reading.<br />

• To encourage community collaboration<br />

throughout the region.<br />

• To provide a variety of means of participation through<br />

book discussions and other activities.<br />

• To provide resources for book discussion groups.<br />

The group has chosen the book “Lake of Fire” by Colorado<br />

author Mark Stevens as this year’s “Village Read” book. Set in<br />

Colorado, the story follows hunting guide Allison Coil as she<br />

tries to find out what happened to a body found after<br />

a wildfire ravages the Colorado Flat Tops.<br />

Many activities are being planned around the<br />

themes from the book, and will include a<br />

Mayor’s kickoff; appearances and talks by the<br />

author; panel discussions; art exhibit; special<br />

speakers; and a closing party.<br />

Keep your eye out this summer for more<br />

information and a complete listing of activities.<br />

Starting in June, books will available for purchase<br />

at The Friends of Arapahoe Libraries Bookstore at<br />

the Koelbel Library and the Curtis Center for the<br />

Arts. Arapahoe Libraries will also have extra copies<br />

available to check out. We look forward to seeing<br />

you at the many activities planned for August.<br />
